A Stumbling Start

Jan 7, 2017

iByron

It looks okay a does what it says mostly. It doesn't search the entire IMSLP -- a search for violoncello sonata yields only 11 results (I'm aware of many more in the public domain on IMSLP) -- so you really can't rely on that service for discovery.

Support is scanty. There is a "Help Forum" on the Newzik web site, but it doesn't seem to be frequented by actual Newzik staff. Their Facebook page is one-way as well; they don't reply to messages or public posts. There is no other way to contact the developer if you need assistance.

Four stars would be a solid performer that does all it says. Such a major oversight and lack of any visible customer service only nets them two.
